We packed the suitcases and asked them outside the door - ready for the hike at 8:30 am. On third second day you will found a hill up to Sierra de Ligonde followed by a gradual descent. Another day with fog - 11am the sun did shine while we were just heading out of the woods into the open landscape. After 8 km in Gonzar we came by a place where we could rest and have a cup of coffee.
We continued - The camino was on this piece not particularly interesting in nature - we walked over a small mountain - a very hot trip. Stopped next time in Ventas de Naron, where we drank a coke. Now we had gradually traveled 13.5 km.
When leaving the village, the Camino crosses the river Minho and it goes steadily up the next 25 km (about 6 t). Along the way, Gonzarz crosses and the road goes past the Romanesque church of Santa María, Castromaior. The peace of the Galician cemetery in Ligonde is lousy on a hot summer day. In Eirexe is the gateway to the church a Romanesque beauty and there is a sculpture of Daniel and the animals, as well as by the apostle James as a pilgrim.
Just before Ligonde we crossed a road cross from 1670 - 'Cruceiro de Lameiros'.
At Portos we stopped at a cafe and ate Galician pie. The last piece went by road through corn fields. After 25.5 km we reached after a long and rather warm day finally Palace de Rei at 4:30 pmWe stayed at the hotel Complejo La Cabaña - a small and quite nice hotel - majority of guests were pilgrims-hikers.
